1993 Nissan hardbody / KA24E

[thisandnothingmore]

I have a 1993 Nissan hardbody with KA24E.
It runs but very rough, seems like it isn't firing on all cylinders or firing correctly, coming to a stop it dies as if I shut off the key, starts right back. Seems to have no power, hard get past about forty mph. I'm guessing distributor but I'm really stumped. Any advice/ideas appreciated

Showing any codes??? Check compression,plugs and wires. Could be moisture under dist.cap. Loose timing chain,clogged fuel filter will also cause a lack of performance. Most of the time when the dist goes the engine stops and will not start again.

I believe if the timing chain, on the KA24E, jumps one tooth performance could be as discribed. If it jumps two teeth bent exhaust valves will most likely result.
Agree with "whomadewho" need more information.
